Robot used to synchronize with with external (non-workflow) events. There are three kinds of synch robots:
  • EVENT
  • OBJECT_EVENT
  • EXPRESSION
In the first case (EVENT), the robot synchs up with a Windchill keyed event; in the second (OBJECT_EVENT), the robot synchs up with a Windchill event that occurs to a specific object; finally, in the last type (EXPRESSION) a expression is evaluated from time to time.

In the EVENT and OBJECT_EVENT cases it is possible to create an expression to filter the event. In all cases, the extrenal event must be translated into a internal workflow event that is then used for routing purposes.

Use the newWfSynchRobot static factory method(s), not the WfSynchRobot constructor, to construct instances of this class. Instances must be constructed using the static factory(s), in order to ensure proper initialization of the instance.
